My impression is that the Voynich Latin script is much more formal: character shapes are regular and characters are typically separated from each other. Paston's script seems "cursive" in both the meanings mentioned above: the pen is rarely lifted from the sheet and it has a "messy" feel that seems to derive from being written quickly. In my opinion, the Voynich Latin script is neither strongly connected nor has a hasty look: it is a Cursiva (because of the loops and single-compartment a) but not cursive (in those two meanings); it appears to have been written slowly and carefully, like the main body of unreadable text. For instance, note how consecutive loops overlap in Paston's detail lines 2 and three and how differently they are treated in Voynich f17r.
